Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
SwiftKanban is a dedicated Kanban tool made by NimbleWork, Inc., which was called Digité, Inc. until March 2023. It lets teams map their workflow on boards with swimlanes, configurable card types and WIP limits, and it supports Scrumban. Larger customers also get enterprise boards, card hierarchy and portfolio lanes. Its main strength is flow analytics. The Enterprise plan adds dashboards and detailed metrics, and the SwiftESP add-on offers risk assessment, capacity and scope forecasting, and aging analysis. It suits software, IT and operations teams that practise Kanban formally and want flow data, more than general business teams. Pricing is per user and billed annually. The free Team plan is for very small groups. Group costs 7 USD per user per month for up to 50 users and 20 boards. Enterprise costs 15 USD per user per month with no user or board limits, and includes API access, with integration adaptors sold as an add-on. SwiftESP and Story Mapping each cost an extra 15 USD per user per month on Enterprise. On-premise deployment is available through sales. NimbleWork's security page lists SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 and supports SAML SSO. The main limitation is a small, ageing review base. Reviewers also say the tool is less intuitive for new users than mainstream boards and that some reports need manual setup.
